RE: Why Americans aren't prepared for the next mega-disaster
There is ultimate insurance against NATUREs wrath! as demonstrated by the Japanese crisis. One of my poems in "Bouquet and Garlands", Authors press, New Delhi, 2007:
Dr.M.R.Iyer, Mumbai, India
A Fine Tuned World
World is a precisely tuned machine;
Who tuned these parameters fine?
To hypothesize these evolved of its own
Would be impertinently vain
The exact tilt of Earth's axis
Gave beautiful change of seasons
The right rotation and range from the sun
Made Earth inhabitable for Man
With the biosphere finely tuned
Innumerable flora and fauna flourished
The design of the ozone layers
Protect it from vile solar rays
Man, a wonder machine created by design
A self-procreating innovation
With infinite model variation
All these point to an ingenious plan
To upset nature's finely balanced system*
With childish impetuosity of a millennium--
A mere speck in the eternity of time
Would be imprudent wisdom
* A reflection on the possibility of the delicate equilibrium of the biosphere being affected by Mans scientific pursuits
